film society screening starting friday: Tiny Furniture

The Film Society is screening Tiny Furniture at their St Anthony screen starting tomorrow and going through at least next Thursday, if not longer. The movie has garnered loads of buzz, including spots on year-end lists by The New Yorker and The New York Times, and the film's director/star struck a TV deal with HBO, bringing Judd Apatow along in the process.  Come back here tomorrow when I'll have a review of the film posted.  In the meantime, here are showtimes and excerpts from the Film Society press release:

TINY FURNITURE is a hilarious and endearing film that explores the depths of romantic humiliation and the heights of post-college confusion. 22-year-old Aura (Dunham) returns home to her artist mother's Tribeca loft with the following: a useless film theory degree, 357 hits on her Youtube page, a boyfriend who's left her to find himself at Burning Man, a dying hamster, and her tail between her legs. Luckily, her trainwreck childhood best friend never left home, the restaurant down the block is hiring, and ill-advised romantic possibilities lurk around every corner. Surrounded on all sides by what she could become, Aura just wants someone to tell her who she is.
